CREO 4.0 Prints Too Light

[dbower-3]

Making the Jump to Creo 4.0.

While plotting, the plots are coming out too light, almost like a Gray-scale.  Played with the settings, but nothing has jumped out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi David,

Are you using a pen table file?  If not, see if you can access this document on how to set up the pen table file:

Suggested Technique for Creating Table.pnt files and Setting Default Pens

Thanks,

I am pointing to the same Pen Table file that we've been using with Creo 2.0.

Does this need to be modified for Creo 4.0?

Thanks for the response.

Hi,

if you want to print all drawing items in black color, then use the following pentable.

pen 1 color 0 0 0; thickness .030 cm; attention_color

pen 2 color 0 0 0; thickness .025 cm;

pen 3 color 0 0 0; thickness .016 cm;

pen 4 color 0 0 0; thickness .070 cm;

pen 5 color 0 0 0; thickness .030 cm;

pen 6 color 0 0 0; thickness .016 cm;

pen 7 color 0 0 0; thickness .005 cm;

pen 8 color 0 0 0; thickness .016 cm;
